We have a glorious Rocky Horror Picture Show fun pack up for grabs guys!

To win the pack you must answer the below question… and then participate in the fun below that and possibly win a chance at a gala screening!

OK, first….

The question:

Rocky horror star Tim Curry played Frank N Furter in the movie, but he was also known as a very scary clown in the adaptation of  Stephen King’s IT… but can you name the clown?

If you think you know the answer then send it to us with your name, address and date of birth, marking emails ‘Timewarp’.

The comp closes this Friday at 1pm, UK time… so you better get your heels on and hurry!

And now for the second part of the fun:

Get ready to do the time warp again as The Rocky Horror Picture Show 40th Anniversary – the ultimate midnight movie – comes home on Blu-ray on 5th October from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

To celebrate this momentous occasion we’re giving Rocky Horror fans the chance to corrupt a ‘Rocky Horror virgin’ by hosting a home screening of this cult classic which is best consumed with some audience partici……pation!

Each winner will receive a copy of the film on Blu-ray, three Rocky Horror Picture Show party packs and a handy infographic to guide you through the interactive elements of the film.

Winners who hold their party before 23rd October will also have the option to tweet pictures of their night to #RockyHorror40th for the chance to win tickets to the celebration screening of the film at the Royal Albert Hall on 27thOctober.

Normal FTN T&Cs apply.

UNLEASHED ON BLU-RAY ON 5TH OCTOBER

Get ready to do the time warp again as The Rocky Horror Picture Show 40th Anniversary – the ultimate midnight movie – comes home on Blu-ray on 5th October from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

Featuring an all-star cast, including: Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick and Meat Loaf, The Rocky Horror Picture Show quickly became a pop cultural phenomenon passed down from generation to generation. Now, after four decades, it’s back!

A Lou Adler/Michael White Production directed by Jim Sharman, this cinematic classic follows sweethearts Brad (Barry Bostwick) and Janet (Susan Sarandon) as they are stuck with a flat tire during a storm and discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry), a sweet transvestite scientist. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker (Meat Loaf) and a creepy butler (Richard O’Brien). Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named “Rocky.”

Since its 1975 release, The Rocky Horror Picture Show quickly made its mark as the most-beloved cult film of all time. Today, this iconic cult classic film is the longest running theatrical release of all-time and currently plays at weekly midnight showings around the world. Moreover, the film’s cultural exposure and acclaim has extended far beyond the theatrical release, as the original “Rocky Horror” stage show continues to delight audiences worldwide.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
